'What an excellent find, ${PLAYER}. These folk from Angmar sound like evil foes, but at least we know what we are up against....

'The plans also show a map that points to the Old East Path, which is just near here. We all avoid that path save for Atli Spider-bane, a visitor from east of the Misty Mountains.

'Speak with Atli and learn what he can tell you about the path. We can use the path to our advantage if we manage to successfully scout it.'

The Old East Path cuts into the large hill west of the Hunting Lodge.

You should explore the Old East Path to see how it can be used to get an advantage over the Blackwolds when they attack.

Objectives

• Defeat spiders on the Old East Path (0/4)
• See if the wall is still intact

Jon Brackenbrook is at the Hunter's Lodge in the north-east corner of Archet.
